On Sunday, the day before school started, my middle son and I baked cookies together. He was quite pleased that he "made cookies all by himself with a little help." Here are the photos from that time.

My youngest wants in on the action too

My youngest would rather eat it then mix it

the best part about making cookies, is having some with milk after you make them

I used to love doing this with my kids.

Oh what a great photo essay! Thanks for sharing. Too bad you can't share the cookies with me too!
Elaine S. Aug 20, 2008, 11:05am EDT
Great photo Essay.........The cookies look Yummy.
Tory H. Aug 20, 2008, 11:07am EDT
Mmm, looks good! Cookie-baking is one of my favorite activities... though I'll admit, I can't resist eating some dough ;)

What a great photo essay!!! I think it's wonderful that you're teaching your sons to cook and bake. There are so many parents that don't teach their kids (I went to college with quite a few). My son loves to cook...and he's a junior in high school now.

what was more fun the cooking or the EATING!!!

Those cookies looks fabulous! What a good little baker! He is so cute!
Sarah (I want points) Aug 20, 2008, 2:01pm EDT
There's nothing like homemade cookies!

Very cool essay. He did a good job.

I bet that was a lot of fun. Now I want cookies. LOL

Mmm.... Cookies.

Sounds like you had a lot of fun.
Monica H. Aug 21, 2008, 2:26am EDT
I would love it if I had one of those cookies right now.


Thanks for posting to Kids and Grandkids.

Shannon, he was so concentrating, you could tell he was proud of being able to mix cookies. A wonderful photo essay, a 10 for you.
